Hmm ... this all reminds me of the e-meter gimmick in Scientology.

Dangle imaginary money ($10,000) as an incentive to get an audience, then diagnose someone with an imaginary problem, sell them an imaginary cure, and take 10% of their lifetime earnings through tithe. People probably lose about $200,000 in tithe if they actually buy into this sales pitch.

I'd like to see a more accurate contract that said "Lose tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars!!!"

Do you really think the goal is to earn tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just who would be the beneficiary?

Just how much do you think people spend in a lifetime to find inner peace through materialist, psychological, self-esteem issues and wind up empty, unfulfilled and alone?

The church?

Paying tithe is an extension of the failed approaches you mention. People are trying to buy happiness ... it would be sad if they were sucked into it by the initial promise of $10,000.

#6 - I've never murdered/hated someone.

#2 - I've not practiced idolatry; although when I went back to read this to give you the numbers, I'm not so sure I've conquered this one.

"The Church" did not make this offer. This is made by a person who is trying to get people to realise that we are all imperfect and have broken God's laws. Is the $10,000 offer an "attention getter"? No question it is.

Paying tithe is not a payment, but an offering of thanks for fulfiment of your life, which if you don't recieve you will not give. Not a requirement.

What's sad is that someone would spend $30,000 or more for a car to impress people in order to win friendship or self-worth, or $10,000 or more for breast augmentation to find love.
